This Pub is Closed Long Term

Named after The Buffs, a local Royal Regiment, The East Kent is situated towards one end of Whitstable’s main shopping area and re-opened in December 2016 after a major refurbishment and upgrade to a bright modern airy style which did, however, remove many of its original internal features. Regular live music, including jazz on Sunday afternoons. There is outdoor seating on the patios at the front and back of the pub. Closed early March no further details at present.

Information for this venue is provided by the Canterbury Herne Bay & Whitstable Branch of CAMRA
